They use a full stage and employ a special set, depicting a rural scene in Ireland.
"Come Back to Erin" was the hit of the bill on the last half of the week's show. The sketch uses several Irish ballads and a dancing specialty, done by Mrs. Mack, and a bag pipe exhibition by a male member of the company.
The "Co." is Mrs. Mack; the little woman deserves to have her full name on the program in blackface capital letters. There is not one dull moment in the 20 minutes the act is on stage. There is some delightful singing and harmonization throughout the act. The act had the advantage of the soft spot on the bill, but could score in any position.
